Bolton Wanderers – Middlesbrough PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS

Posted on: September 04, 2017

Our football match prediction:

Bolton Wanderers

Match Time & Date:

09/09/2017

15:00 GMT

Prediction: 1-1

Middlesbrough

After suffering a heavy 4-0 loss at Hull City on Matchday 5, Bolton Wanderers will be aiming to record their first win of the season when they host Middlesbrough at their Macron Stadium. The Boro dropped two points in a goalless draw with Preston in their last league fixture and, no doubt, they are eager to start a new winning run in the Championship. Garry Monk’s men are a real force to be reckoned with at home, but they suffered back-to-back defeats to Wolves and Nottingham Forest in the first two away games of the season and that is the main reason why we are not tempted to put our money on the visitors, who are eager to return to the Premier League. A close encounter appears on the horizon and we predict that the two sides are going to play out a draw in Saturday’s football match at Macron Stadium.

Highlighted Player (Mark Little):

Mark Little is a right back who plays for Bristol City. Little started his youth career at Wolverhampton Wonderers and he made 27 appearances for the first team as well. He made his Wolves debut on 23 August, 2006 in the League Cup clash against Chesterfield. After spending two years on loan at Northampton Town, Chesterfield and Peterborough United, he signed a permanent deal with Peterborough on 25 May, 2010. The defender scored three goals in 148 appearances for the ABAX Stadium outfit, but in 2014 turned down a new contract offer. Mark Little joined Bristol City on 1 July, 2014 and he has been playing for the Robins ever since. The English footballer, who was born on 20 August, 1988 made 23 appearances for Bristol City in the 2015/2016 Championship campaign and he scored one goal for the club. His main position is right back, but he is capable of playing as midfielder as well.

Highlighted Team (Middlesbrough):

Middlesbrough are a professional football club that have been balancing between the top two divisions of England’s league system in the modern history. Boro have been playing their home games at the Riverside Stadium since 1995 and their shirt colour is red. The capacity of the Riverside Stadium is 34,742. Middlesbrough impressed in the 2015/2016 Championship campaign and they did really well to secure promotion to the English top flight. Newcastle United and Sunderland are regarded as the club’s main rivals, but there is a rivalry with Leeds United as well. Middlesbrough made it to the FA Cup final in 1997, but Chelsea proved to be a big catch for the Boro in the title game (0-2). However, the Riverside Stadium outfit did remarkably well to win the League Cup trophy in 2004, with the team beating Bolton Wanderers in the final. George Boateng, Stewart Downing, Juninho Paulista, Gareth Southgate, Jonathan Woodgate, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, Tuncay Sanli and Hamilton Ricard are the star footballers who left their mark at Middlesbrough.
